“It is clear that we missed the mark [...and shot ourselves square in the junk.]”

“NEWGAWKER” as if it’s going to be some incarnation of the New Yorker? Um.

still wondering how they’re gonna handle that, well..., iron blood and sakura empire are aligned with the sirens.

I reported a photo that was a topless woman showing off her nipple rings. “Thanks for letting us know about this. We looked over the photo, and though it doesn’t go against one of our specific Community Standards, you did the right thing by letting us know about it.”

Not featured: Facebook’s investigation team letting me know that actual sexually inappropriate posts that I’ve flagged on facebook (including a cartoon diagram of intercourse, right in my feed) are perfectly fine and won’t be removed.

I actually can’t wait for Azur Lane The Animation — I’d like to see if they stick to story mode maps... you know, Pearl Harbor, Coral Sea, Midway, Guadalcanal and such, or if it’s gonna be a commander that gathers girls from all the different factions fighting against the Sirens.

Please note that Gabriel was fired by the Bears as their director of scouting the week after the 2010 draft. Where they drafted Dan LeFevour just a few picks before Brown was taken.

I’ve been a part of the competitive scene in Edmonton for around 6 years now but I’ve never quite managed to dedicate myself to getting genuinely good. I honestly think I might be more aware of the difference between someone who just plays the game and someone who's willing to put in the time and effort to get good…

Had a similar experience at Otakon one year. I went went down to the game room and someone had set up Melty Blood - my favorite fighter. There were about half a dozen other players there, mostly people passing by with a casual interest, but as I was playing one guy shows up who was legitimately good at the game. He…

This is where it started for me too, at the arcades. I’d argue the stakes WERE high as 25 cents was alot of money in the 80s and 90s! When SF2 released, the stakes were your spot at the cabinet, which at the time meant, you had to wait 30 minutes to an hour to try again if there was a big enough crowd.

Seems like they should just sign the team over to Greta and be done with it.  

Smash Bros is weird. Because it was clearly created for Nintendo to celebrate their franchises and fanbase and to be a generally fun game, the first one wasn’t even originally scheduled for release outside of Japan. That’s not to besmirch the competitive scene of Smash, they should have the fun they want, it just has…

Some people can have reasons to pre-order, tho. In my case I sometimes pre-order so I can do preloads, since my internet is very slow (6Mb, fastest for my area, and during the day it’s closer to 2Mb) so the only way I can play most games on release date is by preloading - and for some titles, playing them on release…

Are they really trying to convince us that the reason for the bag switch is a shortage on canvas of all things? If anyone believes that I’ve got some swampland for sale. Strange, I haven’t heard about this global canvas shortage problem. Good thing nylon isn’t in shortage too /s.

I...wow.

I’m glad some folks are enjoying this game; everyone has their somewhere they want to be, and that somewhere doesn’t work for other folks—and that’s fine. I enjoy a great many things others think are a waste of time.

This whole kerfuffle, though, comes off as one giant kettle of “we coasted way too hard on a…

I’m disappointed they didn’t go for 64 Amiibos. They could’ve called it: “The Amiibo 64".

a crummy commercial.

But can it tell the time?

I think of HRC and Pelosi as being pretty different, politically. Clinton has a lot of drawbacks (ex. hawkish) but Pelosi out here talking about compromise and shit completely misses the current political context and it’s dangerous to the Democratic party. We do not DO NOT need to continue elevating bipartisanship and…

You should. It’s a *fantastic* adaptation. Carmilla in particular is expanded on in some wonderful ways, new character Godbrand (VIKING VAMPIRE) was a great addition, and there were some fantastic VA choices (particularly Richard Armitage as Trevor, Peter Stormare as Godbrand, and Graham McTavish as Dracula, though…
